BRIDGEPORT.
THE
Men like to be stylish as
well as the opposite sex; like
to be manly looking, gentle­manly
looking. But they're
apt to be a bit careless; don't
keep posted—think they
haven't the time.- -
It takes the same amount
of attention to fasten an un­becoming
tie, or scarf, that it
does a becoming one; just as
much time to put on ill-fit­ting
gloves as good ones—
more, if anything. .
Our counters are conspicu­ous
this season for the excel­lent
and tasteful selections in
neckwear and gloves—unusu­ally
so. And modest prices.
Men - are appreciating their
release from hum-drum shapes
and shades to the more becom-.
ingand decidedly improving
* patterns and colors of modern
... taste—keeping step as 'twere
with their sisters in the art
of good dressing. ' .

•IENDI
They Manage to Find an Excuse to
Murder More Armenians.
THE CHURCHES BLOCKADED.
Released Prisoners Tell Horrible Tales ol
Their Treatment—Torpedoes For
the Dardanelles—Denuncia­tion
From New York.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oot. 10.—The block­ade
of the Armenian churches continues.
*&11 the efforts of the authorities and the
Armenian pa^arch have failed to per­suade
the Armenians who have sought
refuge within their walls to return to
their houses, as they put no faith in the
assurances of protection promised them.
The Turks, however, will only allow Ar­menian
ecclesiastics to enter the churches,
and when they leave the buildings they
are carefully searched.
In accordance with the demands of the
representatives of the powers, the police
authorities have commenced releasing the
Armenians who were imprisoned as a re­sult
of the recent rioting. Two of these
unfortunates who were allowed tp leave
the Zaptieh prison were found to be in a
pitiable condition, both suffering from
eeven or eight terrible wounds. They have
made a statement, which has been com­municated
to the representatives of the
powers, that the prisoners had not received
food or medical treatment for the three
days previous to their release. They also
claim that the prison is horribly over­crowded
and in a shocking state of filth.
Torpedoes In the Dardanelles.
The streets of Constantinople and its
suburbs are still patrolled by police, re-enforced
by troops, and it is understood
that the torpedoes sent to tlio Dardanelles
have been or are being placed in position
in the strait. Ammunition has also been
sent to the forts, and from other military
movements which are going on it would
seem that the Turks are preparing to de-fend'the
passage of the Dardanelles should
Great Britain attempt a naval demonstra­tion
in these waters.
There does not seem to be" any material
change in the diplomatic situation. The
Turkish ministers have held another con­ference,
and additional communications
have been exchanged with the representa­tives
of the powers, but these monotonous
proceedings no longer attract muoh atten­tion,
and few people believe that &rry de­cided
change in the condition of the Ar­menians
is likely to occur unless the porte
is forcibly compelled to enter upon the
work of bringing about reforms in Arme­nia.
There no longer seems to bo any doubt
that the Armenians anticipated a serious
disturbance when the attempt was made
Monday a week ago to present a petition
to the sultan through the grand vizier,
and they claim that those of their race
who fell in the streets of Constantinople
upon that occasion were martyrs who gave
their lives for Armenia in the hope of
forcing the powers to put extra pressure
upon the porte in the efforts being made
to bring about reform in the administra­tion
of Armenia.
Butchery of Armenians Continnes.
TREBIZOUD, Armenia, Oct. 10.—Serious
conflicts between the Turks and Arme­nians
have occurred here. Many Arme­nians
were killed. .
The American View.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—At a meeting of
tho executive committee of the Phil-Ar­menian
Association of America today the
following resolutions were adopted, ex­pressive
of the sense of the association on
the recent events in Constantinople and
the present situation in Armenia:
Whereas, The Turkish government, in de­fiance
of all laws of humanity and civiliza­tion,
has continued to carry on most cruel per­secutions
and torture at its Armenian sub­jects
and thus driving them into despair has
been the original cause of the recent riots in
Constantinople;
Whereas, The Turkish police during and aft­er
the riots have not oaly failed to protect in­nocent
and defenseless people who had no
share in the riots, hut have also aided and en­couraged
the fanatical softas to attack and
murder Armenians;
Whereas, The-Turkish officials and their
friends have tried to represent as a hostile
demonstration against the government the acts
of a few Armenians who in an orderly way
had proceeded to the sublime porte with the
object of petitioning the grand vizier to rem­edy
their grievances;
Whereas, In the face of the official and un­official
testimony of most impartial and com­petent
witnesses the Turkish officials still
continue to deny the cruel massacres of the
Armenians in Sassoun, be it
Resolved, That the responsibility*of the re-tent
riots in Constantinople rests on the Turk­ish
government.
Resolved, That the inability or unwilling­ness
of the Turkish police to preserve order
and to protect the lives of the Armenians
against the attacks of fanatical softas demon­strates
the futility of the Turkish promises for
reforms assuring security of life, honor and
property to the Christian population of Tur­key,
and that the lives of Christians are al­ways
in danger.
Resolved, That the cruelties perpetrated by
the softas and other fanatical Moslems upon
peaceful people prove that the carrying of
arms was done solely for self protection, and
that the Armenians only resorted to arms
when their lives were threatened, and that
this view has been supported by the collective
note of protest sent since the affair to the porte
by the powers.
Resolved, That the attempts of the Turkish
officials to deny the Sassoun massacres show
only the barefaced impudence of the Turkish
government and the hopelessness of bringing
the Turks into a sense of decency without re­sorting
to coercive measures.
Resolved, That no effectual reforms are pos­sible
in Turkey without European control, and
that any longer delay in forcing the Turkish
government to accept the demands of the three
great powers for establishing order and secur­ity
in Armenia will result in more cruelties
and massacres.

CRANFOBD, N. .T., Oct. 10.-Henry
Marco, a boiler maker, while walking in
the woods was attacked by a large eagle.
Marco stunned tho bird with a blow from

measured 5 feet 7 inches from tip to tip.
HABEBBAINED "LABBY,"
Xiondon 'frnth's Pointless Comment on the
S'ackville-West Incident.
LOUDON, Oct. 10.—Commenting upon
tho pamphlet circulated by Lord Sack­ville,
making disclosures in connection
with his mission to tho United States and
making an attack upon Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard, then secretary of state at Wash­ington
and now United States embassador
here, Mr. Labouchere has this to say in
Truth:
"Whether it is courteous or judicious in
Lord Sackville to publish this attack
when Mr. Bayard is the American embas­sador,
in London is A debatable question,
to which it may be very reasonably replied
that Mr. Bayard wns immeasurably moro
discourteous and injudicious in his behav-
HENRY LABOUCHERE.
ior toward Mr. Sackville-West (now Lord
Sackville) when tho latter was British
minister in Washington, and that Mr. Bay­ard
cannot therefore fairly complain. But
the matter acquires exceptional interest
when it is considered by tho side of tho
dispute over the America's cup.
"It will be remembered that Mr. Sack-ville-
West was the victim of an election­eering
trick. An indiscreet expression ol
opinion on his part was exaggerated into
extravagant importance for the purpose ol
exciting anti-English agitation. The trick
was successful, and England, in the person
of her envoy, was grossly and wantonly
insulted. Mr. Cleveland, however, failed
to secure election.
"In our relations with America experi­ence
teaches us to be always on the alert.
This has made tho English papers over-suspicious,
they possibly imagining trick­ery
whero none exists. It is for this
reason especially advisable that interna­tional
contests be discontinued until this
impression is removed, or until tho Amer­icans
realize that they are sufficiently
strong to depend upon themselves without
requiring the additional support of sharp
practice. The two nations are so very
nearly allied that everything ought to be
done on both sides of the Atlantic to unite
them even more closely. . Both have
much in common. In America they have
our peers; in England wo have their heir­esses.
''
The story alluded to above was printed
"for private circulation only" by Sir
Lionel Sackvflle-West, K. C. M. G., in a
pamphlet circulated among tho leading
foreign diplomats; higher British officials
and a few personal friends. It is entitled
"My .'Mission to the Unitod States,
1881-9."
It is Lord. Packville's defense and ex­planation
of his diplomatic career -at
Washington. It treats of the letter ho
wrote to an alleged Englishman on the
evo of the presidential election in 18S8,
and the subsequent sending him his pass­ports,
and was quite sevore on Secretary
Bayard. • .
THE BAOTOCE: MATTEE,
The Story of thei Killing of Captain Smith
by Indians Disproved.
SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 10.—The Trib­une

A SERVANT GIRL INJURED.
A Man ; Thrown Violently to the Celling.
The Noise Sufllcient to Alarm the En-i

: an Incipient Panic.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—An explosion in
the kitohen of tho three story and base­ment
brownstone house, 230 East Sixty-first
street, today caused a panic through
all the block. Firemen and police were
summoned to the sceno.
One woman now lies in the Presby­terian
hospital in a precarious condition.
One man was blown clean up to the ceil­ing,
wh|le the entire basement floor was
wrecked* Not a single pane of glass was
left unbroken in the front and rear win­dows.
Added to this, a blaze started, which at
one time threatened serious consequences.
The hijiuse is owned and occupied by
Gustave'Schnaier, his wife, four sons and
a daughter. One month ago Mrs. Schnaier
hired as •, domestic a 20-year-old German
girl named Mary Schwieneman, who had
recently arrived in this country.
The kiichen in the Schnaier residence
is, or rather was until the explosion, pro­vided
with an immense range, which had
not beenjused since May. At that time a
gas stove was put in, on which the meals
have beeii cooked..
Mrs. Schnaier told the girl to start a
fire in the range today, and she did so.
She cooked her own meal and sat down to
eat it.
The members of the family, except a
son, Robert, were asleep at the time. Ho
was in tho kitchen near the stove. Ho
says that a few moments before ho heard
a peculiar rumbling noise, as if a back
draft had set in at the range, but thought
nothing of it.
A Queer Explosion.
Suddenly there was an explosion, with
a noise thlat shook tho house to its founda­tion.
Ini'an instant, and without being
struck with anything, Robert was lifted
from his feet to the ceiling, tho impact of
his body bringing down several yards of
plaster. Tho metal work of tho range
was smashed into fragments, which flew
in every direction. About a dozen of them
struck tho girl. She was sent flying to
the far coiner of the room.
Pieces of the flying metal were driven
through the rear windows, breaking the
sash and woodwork as if made of straw.
Other pieces crashed through the doors
connecting with the dining room, tore
through tho glass and woodwork of the
front windows, smashing them to frag­ments..
The glass door leading into the
hallway was also broken.
Tho force of tho explosion carried tho
hot coal across the room to the three sta­tionary
washtubs and set them on firo.
The table at which tho jgirl had been eat­ing
was wrecked, and a bicycle standing
near by was knocked out of shape. A lit­tle
black dog which was lying under tho
table escaped with a slight singeing.
An Incipient Panic. •
Milton Schnaier, ^another sou, was
awakened by the explosion, and, without
waiting to dress, ran down stairs barefoot­ed.
His feet were cut by broken glass
that littered the hall. The washtubs wore
then blazing merrily, and a quantity of
clothes in a big basket were also in flames.
Milton dragged tho basket into the rear
yard, and then tried to extinguish the fire
in the wa^itubs. His brother, who had
been sent ceilingward, but who had re­covered,
assisted him.
Meanwhile nearly everybody residing
on the block turned into the street, and
the policeman on post sent in a fire alarm
and a call "for an ambulance.
The firemen were in. the house before
the other members of the Schnaier family
came down stairs. Most of them suffered
from shock.
The servant girl was not only severely
injured by the flying metal, but suffered
also from shock. She was removed to the
hospital, where it was discovered that she
was seriously injured. Tho firo was ex­tinguished
speedily.
No one can explain tho explosion, ex­cept
on the theory of lire damp,. or that
boys, in' crossing the roof during the sum­mer,
may have closed up the chimney.

They Manage to Find an Excuse to
Murder More Armenians.
THE CHURCHES BLOCKADED.
Released Prisoners Tell Horrible Tales ol
Their Treatment—Torpedoes For
the Dardanelles—Denuncia­tion
From New York.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Oot. 10.—The block­ade
of the Armenian churches continues.
*&11 the efforts of the authorities and the
Armenian pa^arch have failed to per­suade
the Armenians who have sought
refuge within their walls to return to
their houses, as they put no faith in the
assurances of protection promised them.
The Turks, however, will only allow Ar­menian
ecclesiastics to enter the churches,
and when they leave the buildings they
are carefully searched.
In accordance with the demands of the
representatives of the powers, the police
authorities have commenced releasing the
Armenians who were imprisoned as a re­sult
of the recent rioting. Two of these
unfortunates who were allowed tp leave
the Zaptieh prison were found to be in a
pitiable condition, both suffering from
eeven or eight terrible wounds. They have
made a statement, which has been com­municated
to the representatives of the
powers, that the prisoners had not received
food or medical treatment for the three
days previous to their release. They also
claim that the prison is horribly over­crowded
and in a shocking state of filth.
Torpedoes In the Dardanelles.
The streets of Constantinople and its
suburbs are still patrolled by police, re-enforced
by troops, and it is understood
that the torpedoes sent to tlio Dardanelles
have been or are being placed in position
in the strait. Ammunition has also been
sent to the forts, and from other military
movements which are going on it would
seem that the Turks are preparing to de-fend'the
passage of the Dardanelles should
Great Britain attempt a naval demonstra­tion
in these waters.
There does not seem to be" any material
change in the diplomatic situation. The
Turkish ministers have held another con­ference,
and additional communications
have been exchanged with the representa­tives
of the powers, but these monotonous
proceedings no longer attract muoh atten­tion,
and few people believe that &rry de­cided
change in the condition of the Ar­menians
is likely to occur unless the porte
is forcibly compelled to enter upon the
work of bringing about reforms in Arme­nia.
There no longer seems to bo any doubt
that the Armenians anticipated a serious
disturbance when the attempt was made
Monday a week ago to present a petition
to the sultan through the grand vizier,
and they claim that those of their race
who fell in the streets of Constantinople
upon that occasion were martyrs who gave
their lives for Armenia in the hope of
forcing the powers to put extra pressure
upon the porte in the efforts being made
to bring about reform in the administra­tion
of Armenia.
Butchery of Armenians Continnes.
TREBIZOUD, Armenia, Oct. 10.—Serious
conflicts between the Turks and Arme­nians
have occurred here. Many Arme­nians
were killed. .
The American View.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—At a meeting of
tho executive committee of the Phil-Ar­menian
Association of America today the
following resolutions were adopted, ex­pressive
of the sense of the association on
the recent events in Constantinople and
the present situation in Armenia:
Whereas, The Turkish government, in de­fiance
of all laws of humanity and civiliza­tion,
has continued to carry on most cruel per­secutions
and torture at its Armenian sub­jects
and thus driving them into despair has
been the original cause of the recent riots in
Constantinople;
Whereas, The Turkish police during and aft­er
the riots have not oaly failed to protect in­nocent
and defenseless people who had no
share in the riots, hut have also aided and en­couraged
the fanatical softas to attack and
murder Armenians;
Whereas, The-Turkish officials and their
friends have tried to represent as a hostile
demonstration against the government the acts
of a few Armenians who in an orderly way
had proceeded to the sublime porte with the
object of petitioning the grand vizier to rem­edy
their grievances;
Whereas, In the face of the official and un­official
testimony of most impartial and com­petent
witnesses the Turkish officials still
continue to deny the cruel massacres of the
Armenians in Sassoun, be it
Resolved, That the responsibility*of the re-tent
riots in Constantinople rests on the Turk­ish
government.
Resolved, That the inability or unwilling­ness
of the Turkish police to preserve order
and to protect the lives of the Armenians
against the attacks of fanatical softas demon­strates
the futility of the Turkish promises for
reforms assuring security of life, honor and
property to the Christian population of Tur­key,
and that the lives of Christians are al­ways
in danger.
Resolved, That the cruelties perpetrated by
the softas and other fanatical Moslems upon
peaceful people prove that the carrying of
arms was done solely for self protection, and
that the Armenians only resorted to arms
when their lives were threatened, and that
this view has been supported by the collective
note of protest sent since the affair to the porte
by the powers.
Resolved, That the attempts of the Turkish
officials to deny the Sassoun massacres show
only the barefaced impudence of the Turkish
government and the hopelessness of bringing
the Turks into a sense of decency without re­sorting
to coercive measures.
Resolved, That no effectual reforms are pos­sible
in Turkey without European control, and
that any longer delay in forcing the Turkish
government to accept the demands of the three
great powers for establishing order and secur­ity
in Armenia will result in more cruelties
and massacres.
Fought an Eagle In the Woods,
CRANFOBD, N. .T., Oct. 10.-Henry
Marco, a boiler maker, while walking in
the woods was attacked by a large eagle.
Marco stunned tho bird with a blow from
a sti&k, and carried it home. The eaglfc
measured 5 feet 7 inches from tip to tip.
HABEBBAINED "LABBY,"
Xiondon 'frnth's Pointless Comment on the
S'ackville-West Incident.
LOUDON, Oct. 10.—Commenting upon
tho pamphlet circulated by Lord Sack­ville,
making disclosures in connection
with his mission to tho United States and
making an attack upon Hon. Thomas F.
Bayard, then secretary of state at Wash­ington
and now United States embassador
here, Mr. Labouchere has this to say in
Truth:
"Whether it is courteous or judicious in
Lord Sackville to publish this attack
when Mr. Bayard is the American embas­sador,
in London is A debatable question,
to which it may be very reasonably replied
that Mr. Bayard wns immeasurably moro
discourteous and injudicious in his behav-
HENRY LABOUCHERE.
ior toward Mr. Sackville-West (now Lord
Sackville) when tho latter was British
minister in Washington, and that Mr. Bay­ard
cannot therefore fairly complain. But
the matter acquires exceptional interest
when it is considered by tho side of tho
dispute over the America's cup.
"It will be remembered that Mr. Sack-ville-
West was the victim of an election­eering
trick. An indiscreet expression ol
opinion on his part was exaggerated into
extravagant importance for the purpose ol
exciting anti-English agitation. The trick
was successful, and England, in the person
of her envoy, was grossly and wantonly
insulted. Mr. Cleveland, however, failed
to secure election.
"In our relations with America experi­ence
teaches us to be always on the alert.
This has made tho English papers over-suspicious,
they possibly imagining trick­ery
whero none exists. It is for this
reason especially advisable that interna­tional
contests be discontinued until this
impression is removed, or until tho Amer­icans
realize that they are sufficiently
strong to depend upon themselves without
requiring the additional support of sharp
practice. The two nations are so very
nearly allied that everything ought to be
done on both sides of the Atlantic to unite
them even more closely. . Both have
much in common. In America they have
our peers; in England wo have their heir­esses.
''
The story alluded to above was printed
"for private circulation only" by Sir
Lionel Sackvflle-West, K. C. M. G., in a
pamphlet circulated among tho leading
foreign diplomats; higher British officials
and a few personal friends. It is entitled
"My .'Mission to the Unitod States,
1881-9."
It is Lord. Packville's defense and ex­planation
of his diplomatic career -at
Washington. It treats of the letter ho
wrote to an alleged Englishman on the
evo of the presidential election in 18S8,
and the subsequent sending him his pass­ports,
and was quite sevore on Secretary
Bayard. • .

A STRANGE EXPLOSION

A SERVANT GIRL INJURED.
A Man ; Thrown Violently to the Celling.
The Noise Sufllcient to Alarm the En-i

: an Incipient Panic.
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—An explosion in
the kitohen of tho three story and base­ment
brownstone house, 230 East Sixty-first
street, today caused a panic through
all the block. Firemen and police were
summoned to the sceno.
One woman now lies in the Presby­terian
hospital in a precarious condition.
One man was blown clean up to the ceil­ing,
wh|le the entire basement floor was
wrecked* Not a single pane of glass was
left unbroken in the front and rear win­dows.
Added to this, a blaze started, which at
one time threatened serious consequences.
The hijiuse is owned and occupied by
Gustave'Schnaier, his wife, four sons and
a daughter. One month ago Mrs. Schnaier
hired as •, domestic a 20-year-old German
girl named Mary Schwieneman, who had
recently arrived in this country.
The kiichen in the Schnaier residence
is, or rather was until the explosion, pro­vided
with an immense range, which had
not beenjused since May. At that time a
gas stove was put in, on which the meals
have beeii cooked..
Mrs. Schnaier told the girl to start a
fire in the range today, and she did so.
She cooked her own meal and sat down to
eat it.
The members of the family, except a
son, Robert, were asleep at the time. Ho
was in tho kitchen near the stove. Ho
says that a few moments before ho heard
a peculiar rumbling noise, as if a back
draft had set in at the range, but thought
nothing of it.
A Queer Explosion.
Suddenly there was an explosion, with
a noise thlat shook tho house to its founda­tion.
Ini'an instant, and without being
struck with anything, Robert was lifted
from his feet to the ceiling, tho impact of
his body bringing down several yards of
plaster. Tho metal work of tho range
was smashed into fragments, which flew
in every direction. About a dozen of them
struck tho girl. She was sent flying to
the far coiner of the room.
Pieces of the flying metal were driven
through the rear windows, breaking the
sash and woodwork as if made of straw.
Other pieces crashed through the doors
connecting with the dining room, tore
through tho glass and woodwork of the
front windows, smashing them to frag­ments..
The glass door leading into the
hallway was also broken.
Tho force of tho explosion carried tho
hot coal across the room to the three sta­tionary
washtubs and set them on firo.
The table at which tho jgirl had been eat­ing
was wrecked, and a bicycle standing
near by was knocked out of shape. A lit­tle
black dog which was lying under tho
table escaped with a slight singeing.
An Incipient Panic. •
Milton Schnaier, ^another sou, was
awakened by the explosion, and, without
waiting to dress, ran down stairs barefoot­ed.
His feet were cut by broken glass
that littered the hall. The washtubs wore
then blazing merrily, and a quantity of
clothes in a big basket were also in flames.
Milton dragged tho basket into the rear
yard, and then tried to extinguish the fire
in the wa^itubs. His brother, who had
been sent ceilingward, but who had re­covered,
assisted him.
Meanwhile nearly everybody residing
on the block turned into the street, and
the policeman on post sent in a fire alarm
and a call "for an ambulance.
The firemen were in. the house before
the other members of the Schnaier family
came down stairs. Most of them suffered
from shock.
The servant girl was not only severely
injured by the flying metal, but suffered
also from shock. She was removed to the
hospital, where it was discovered that she
was seriously injured. Tho firo was ex­tinguished
speedily.
No one can explain tho explosion, ex­cept
on the theory of lire damp,. or that
boys, in' crossing the roof during the sum­mer,
may have closed up the chimney.
